Nkakasawa n mag comment puro reklamo lng tau Walang gawa
Bakit kikilos ang AFP ang PCG eh ang dating presidente nga walang tapang na ipinakita llaban sa pambubully ng Tsina at kinampihan pa ang Tsina imbes na ang Pilipinas sa pagtawag ng panalo ng Pilipinas sa arbitral court na just a piece of paper daw. Isang walang pangalawang katrayduran ng presidente pa naman pero iyong mga leader, ganon din ang ginawa, sonuportahan din ang pambubully ng Tsina pati ang mga DDS., Ganon din. Nahirati at nasanay ang tsina sa ganon kaya ngayon ganon pa rin ang ginagawa sa Pilipinas. Sana ipagtanggol ng presidente ang Pilipinas hindi ang sumipsip at matakot sa Tsina.
labanan nyo basta nasa tama ganyan cla
You need a bigger boat to ram on their boat too. Kapag binunggo tayo bungguin din natin, kapag pinutukan tayo putukan din natin. Yan ang linguahe na naiintindihan nila.
We need to invest to improve our military. Better weapons, better ships, better fighter jets, better missles. Bigger guns with bigger bullets. We need to protect our territory.

In the near future china will claim also Planet Mars as part of their territory! trust me.
The situation now is so different. The aggression of China in our exclusive economic zone is enormous. The Philippines should make move in active action to develop the ayungin shoal, Sabina shoals and put an outpost to help guard our territorial waters
Not spend too much but slowly develop just to put an outpost and our navy na makadaong sa said shoal. Not too much talk but action should be done. Do not expect other Asian country would like your plan because other Asian country has different approach in the China sea issue.
No amount of diplomacy or economic cooperation will make PRC government an ally. Large and wide China is, it continued to grab sovereign territories in both land and sea. PRC government in its most imperialistic, hegemonistic and monopolistic era. Just by size, obviously the bully is PRC. Japan has retired its old imperialistic ways, very apologetic eversince, and provided reparation, unlike PRC/PLA navy that project a pirate mentality. A prominent Chinese even described PRC financial institutions and banks as having a "pawnshop mentality:" Japan has shown friendly economic cooperation, even riskes its massive automobile industry by outsourcing it to USA, Canada and other countries yet continues to be an ally both economically and militarily to its significant allies. PRC government practices cut throat economic competition despite being given the privelege to outsourcing by USA and other countries. Japan has no territories- lost its northern islands to Russia (another massive geopolitical bully). And for the 21st century, what did PRC government contribute? Permissive spread of covid 19 around the world. Any economic deal with PRC government is a win-LOSS for Filipinos….. jeopardizing sovereignty, loss of RP territorial rights, degradation of RP economy (PRC targets US dollar destruction – what happens fot the OFW and Fil-Am dollar contributions), loss of food resources from the sea, and curtailment of FILIPINO freedom. The militarization of atolls near or around RP, aggressive presence of PLA navy and merchant marine acting like GLORIFIED PIRATES (depriving FILIPINO FISHERMEN and BOATS access to fishing and access to passage in international waters, and interference with RP politics and economy.
How come Phil. Navy is not deploying any war ship in the area? I think they have one at least. Talking is not gonna work. China will NOT respect and adhere to international laws. If they can kill their own citizens, it's sufficed evidence that they couldn't care. If china attacked any Phil. war ship in the area, that's an act of war…and to the rescue, USA. The current Phil. admin should allow U.S. to reestablish their bases in Subic or in Batanes Island that encompasses West/East Phil. Sea.
Mga balimbing sa senado at kongreso just because wala na si Duterte ngayon nag-iba ng pananaw, opinyon at pinaninindigan. Marami ng mga mambabatas ngayon na nagpapahayag ng taliwas o kontra na panukala at hindi naaayon sa dating administrasyon.
